An effective conclusion should provide closure for a paper, leaving the reader feeling satisfied that the concepts have been fully explained.

Acknowledgments - You as the author are free to decide whether to include acknowledgments or not. Usually, the acknowledgments section includes the names of people who in some way contributed to the work, but do not fit the criteria to be listed as the authors.

In the text, each reference number should be enclosed by square brackets. Citations of references may be given simply as "in [1] ...", or as "in reference [1] ...". Similarly, it is not necessary to mention the authors of a reference, unless the mention is relevant to the text.
Multiple citations within a single set of brackets should be separated by commas. Where there are three or more sequential citations, they should be given as a range [2, 7-9, 13].

Article Processing Charges

Why do Science Publishing Group Journals have Article Processing Charges?

Traditional journals are solely based on a reader-pays model, in which institutional libraries typically pay for the access to content. However, all journals published by Science Publishing Group are full open access. The scientific community and general public can access all articles published in the journal for free.
This means that Science Publishing Group does not gain any income through selling subscriptions of the printed or online versions of the published articles. Therefore, by collecting Article Processing Charges from authors' institutes or research funding bodies, Science Publishing Group is able to cover the various publishing services:

● Editorial work: peer review, administrative support, commissioning content, journal development.
● Technical infrastructure and innovation: development, maintenance and operation of online journal system and websites.
● Production of articles: formatting and mark-up of articles and inclusion in indexing services.
● Marketing of journal and content: making sure readers and authors know about the work published in the title.
● Customer service: responding to authors and readers.

How Much Does Science Publishing Group Charge for Its Different Journals?

World Journal of Food Science and Technology is an Open Access journal accessible for free on the Internet. With Open Access, Science Publishing Group (SciencePG) allows us to distribute knowledge more widely and at a lower cost than was previously possible. However, to cover the editorial services and production of an article, the journal depends on Article Processing Charges (APC).

Upon an article is editorially accepted, the corresponding author will be notified about the payment issue, which is charged to either the author, or the funder, institution or employer.

When and How do Authors Pay?

The corresponding author needs to arrange payment of the Article Processing Charges unless a waiver has been granted. Following peer review, once a manuscript has received editorial acceptance in principle, the Article Processing Charges becomes payable and the formatting checks on the manuscript will commence. Once formatting checks are completed, and payment of the Article Processing Charges has been received, the article will be published.

Science Publishing Group currently supports the following payment methods:

● Payment through PayPal
● Pay with Debit or Credit Card
● Wire Transfer in US Dollars (USD)
● Western Union in US Dollars (USD)
We recommend you use our PayPal Secure Payment system:

Are Reprints of the Article Included in the Article Processing Charges?

Reprints can be ordered separately and optionally for any article that has been published in a Science Publishing Group journal. To request an offer for reprints of an article, please send an e-mail to service@sciencepublishinggroup.com
